00-45 made in 1972! ! !

This is a collector's item with great sound and condition!

This model is well known in Japan as it is used by famous musicians.

It is known as a model that is very difficult to obtain because it is popular and the number of pieces produced is small.

According to the documentation, there is only one 00-45 made in 1972.

However, this model has S00-45 written on the neck block, so it seems to be a special order item.

In the past, another example of 00-45 made in 1972 was sold in the United States, and one of the examples in this document is that example, so this example may not be counted as a special order item. .

The top is German spruce.

This is a very beautiful spruce with fine heather grains.

It has a beautiful amber-colored appearance that has changed over time and is very beautiful.

There are no cracks in the center seam that are often seen.

S B is Indian rosewood.

It's a very beautiful straight-grained wood, and I think the Indian rosewood of this era is really good wood.

Slotted head with round hole for binding.

The C.F.MARTIN logo on the abalone shell shines beautifully.

The logo and binding have become amber color due to aging of the paint, and this head alone gives it a great atmosphere.

This style of 45 from before the war had a slotted head with a square hole.

However, in this era, the same 45 style also used a slotted head with a round hole.

The tuner is original with 45 style engravings and works well.

The fingerboard and bridge are ebony.

The ebony used on the fingerboard has a wonderful texture, and the position marks are Avalon hexagon inlays.

The inlay at this time was Solid Avalon.

Unlike laminate, most solid abalons have an elegant appearance, but the solid avalon used in this item has a very flashy and beautiful shine.

Rosetta with Avalon in it and black pickguard.

45 style decoration with Avalon trim on the entire body.

The binding is white.

The tuner, nut, frets, and end pin are original.

The pickguard, saddle, bridge, and bridge pin have been replaced.

There is a weather check on the paint and some very small scratches, but it is in mint condition with almost no signs of use.

It comes with a small blue case exclusively for the original 00 size, and this 00 size blue case alone is extremely valuable. (Some parts are damaged and the lid of the accessory case is missing, but there is no problem in practical use)

This 45 style was officially produced from 1904 until 1942.

Production resumed in 1968 under the direction of Mike Longworth.

Four 45 styles were produced in the first year of 1904, and I have seen one of them, but the sound of the 45 style has been perfected since then, and the sound that only this 45 model can produce is world famous. It attracts guitar lovers inside.

A rich, gorgeous tone full of overtones typical of the 45 style that you can hear from that sound source just by lightly playing with your fingernails.

The 00 size is a big plus, with quick response and a well-balanced, clear tone.

A dreadnought would never produce a sound like this, so I think this is the kind of sound that only this model can produce.

Since it has a small body with a 12F joint, the sound when a capo is attached is also exceptional, and the beautiful tone that resonates everywhere will captivate both players and listeners.

Although the saddle is a little low, the neck condition, string height, and other playability are very good.

If you wish, we will perform neck reset and setup free of charge before or after delivery.

If you are looking for one, please consider this opportunity!

This is a valuable vintage guitar that you never know when you will come across it in the future!
